What have you been doing since you graduated from Hiram? Where do you live? Have you gotten married? Taken a trip? Received a promotion? Share your news with other alumni by posting it here (and you might see it in the issue of the Hiram magazine!)

Hiram has another Danczak on the Hill. My son Robert ('13) is now a sophomore at the College double majoring in Biology and Biochemistry. He fell in love Hiram when he visited the campus as a junior at Minersville Area Jr./Sr. High (Where?) and he talked with Prof. John Andrews for about an hour and a half. That conversation with Dr. Andrews "sealed the deal." especially after Prof. Andrews recalled me after 30 yrs.

Yesterday in New York, Hiram lost one of its most beloved profs. John Strassburger was a professor of history here at Hiram College in the 1970's and 1980's, bringing to us a love of architecture and helping to create the Regional studies program. Many of us students went on to pursue careers in preservation, architectural history, and history because of him. His dedication to the field of higher education continued at the National Endowment for the Humanities, Knox College, and Ursinus College near Philadelphia, from whence John retired this past spring. Well known for his bow ties and engaging grin, he will be greatly missed!

Memorial service: Sunday, 9/26/10 at Bomberger Hall on the Ursinus campus, with a reception to follow at the Berman Museum, also on campus.
